Moline, IL... State Rep. Rich Morthland (R-Cordova) joined a group of Illinois House republicans today in sending a letter to Governor Quinn thanking him for the recent response to the severe drought conditions across the state, along with a request that the Governor's administration put in place a system that will provide lawmakers with regular updates and developments that might help those in need.
"As a farmer, I am well aware of the devastating economic impact caused by these extreme weather conditions. The drought is not only going to hurt farmers, ethanol producers and our livestock producers; it will also lead to higher food prices for families," Morthland said. "I look forward to helping distribute any updates or new financial assistance opportunities to my constituents who may qualify for the programs."
